10 Questions to Plan Great Goals in 2019

by Justine Haemmerli November 28, 2018

Hey there! Are you thinking about 2019 already? I know I am, and much as I love reflecting on big questions throughout the year, I can't help but also get swept up in the goal-setting and resolution-making that the impending new year brings.

I wanted to share with you 10 Questions I use to create Great Goals for 2019 - these aren't fluffy phrases and affirmations to stick on my mirror for the first week of January and then completely forget about. They're actionable, and based on thinking hard about what did and didn't work in 2018.

I always find it really powerful to pause during reflection to reread what I've written, and look for patterns. The recurring themes in our thoughts and reflections are like arrows pointing us to what is most important in our lives, but often we don't even realize there is a common thread, or root system, until we write down ideas that seem unrelated and go hunting for patterns and commonalities. Often we get stuck because everything feels overwhelming and uncomfortable and we don't know where to start - when we sit down and look for patterns in our writing and reflections, we realize that there are a few central items to work with, and it gives us a clear, concrete place to start.

I created a printable to help you work through these questions,

Who were you before the world got a hold of you?

Before you were taught what was and wasn't realistic, before the circumstances of your childhood molded your heart and mind into shapes that were the inverse of the pressures placed on you, like a hand pressing into clay.

What were you like, what did you love, what was your nature, before the people in your life taught you how to be, before you began to imitate others, before anyone told you no enough times that you put parts of yourself away.

Were you bold? Quiet? Did you love trees and animals? Were you a loner? Clingy? What did you dream of becoming? Where were you happiest? What do you remember?

Clarity Deck Gifts Holidays Self Care Self Love

Today, I want to share three free gifts for yourself this holiday season, inspired by our Clarity Deck. These are gifts you will be giving to yourself to feel happier, to be more yourself, to have more inner peace, and to be a better friend to yourself.

Part of the beauty of giving yourself a gift like these is there's no time stamp. These would be perfect fodder for making some commitments, choosing a focus, even starting a fresh habit moving into the New Year - but they don't need to be acquired or accomplished by December 25th or 31st.
